(Update: March 07, 2010, this is a hoax) Singapore strongman 87 year old Lee Kuan Yew suffers massive heart attack

Ladies and Gentlemen,

According to latest reports received from Singapore a few minutes ago, the 87 year old Singapore strongman, Lee Kuan Yew, had suffered a massive heart attack at 9.34 pm yesterday Singapore time.

He is reported to be presently in the Intensive Care Cardiac Unit of the Singapore General Hospital under sedation and respiration, carefully watched by a team of doctors, with his son whom he appointed the Prime Minister and his 2 other children beside him.

It is understood his wife is also in the same hospital in a coma now for several years.

It is uncertain if he can recover at his age, and the pacemaker which he has in his heart is believed to have contributed to it.

According to reports, the pacemaker malfunctioned triggering this massive heart attack.

With the entire country run by this one man, the fear that business leaders and bankers had for very long may have finally come true; that such a happening can destroy the business confidence and cause total destruction in the small island city state.

The reason for the lack of confidence is due to the general lack of confidence in his son's, the prime minister's capacity to govern thereby creating a power vacuum with no single person able to assume control in the island.

In fact reports have been coming in that some investors have already started transferring their funds overseas creating a fear there could be a run on the banks.

There are reports that several top officials who have amassed fortunes under Lee Kuan Yew's patronage and connections have begun to have the jitters and started moving their funds overseas.

A few high ranking civil servants and judges who were responsible for human rights abuses against his political opponents have also been on alert ready to leave the island any minute.

Reports have also been coming in that peaceful protesters and demonstrators have begun assembling in small pockets at the Geylang and Mountbatten Road junction and the Orchard Road and Patterson Road junction holding placardsreading "Democracy" and "Down With the Dictator" and chanting slogans.

The situation is very fluid and I will be reporting on the situation as it unfolds. There have been numerous telephone calls to the Prime Ministers Office and the Singapore newspaper the Straits Times for information.

No offence but your report sound like something out from a B movie. So far there is no report of protest on official or non-official media. I am not doubting your sources but the information is a bit too detailed. It looks like someone working in the hospital leaked the news!

Sorry to disappoint you, but MM Lee is still in great health, and he is much better shape that you fat boy! You should watch your high blood and cholestrol levels....you will probably die before MM Lee does

how do we verify this claim? I wouldn't put it past the MSM to do what the North Korean media did of their little emperor but Singapore's a small place. If this were through, there should be a run on the SGX and the banks.

Once LKY dies, the fear factor in Singapore will disappear for time immemorial.

Everyone will sit at the kopitiams and talk their shit out against the LHL.

The death of LKY brings with it the death of all his fear machinery. There is no fearmonger to answer to. And we can all relax a little, knowing that the air is fresher once again.

The first thing I want to abolish is this fucking pseudo ELITISM that they have constructed as a vanguard for rational discourse, making politics almost a hand-me-down priviledge and a taboo topic for the masses.

it is disgusting for u to write all these here, even though it is your personal blog. What u wrote is malicious n simply shamelessly with every bad intention to harm any Singaporeans. You were born in singapore, n u shld b ashamed of urself for doing this.

"not even a Singaporean." (Sun Mar 07, 04:43:00 PM PST) is the reason why Singaporeans vote in PAP in every election.

It seems that only the Opposition is malicious and shameless. But if it is the PAP doing the same dirty tactics, he or she will shut 2 eyes at the crimes, because police don't catch them, and the 144th report the news, bias with their approvals and justifications.

ex-Singaporeans like me are horrified by the dirty deeds of the PAP towards the Opposition.

But in general, Singaporeans are blind to such acts, even thinking that the Opposition deserve them because they have ulterior motives.

good article! nice scenerio & yes indeed, why not get notice in such manner, come to think of it, is on Sun Tzu strategy...& whoever think is 'underhand', think again, this regime is more underhand than anyone else, and in war fare, borrow the terrain to your advantage & not the other way round..
